Background: The aim of the study was to analyze the effective dose record of occupationally exposed radiation workers at Bahawalpur Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Oncology department. Materials and Methods: Annual effective doses of occupationally exposed workers were measured by film badge dosimetry by sending the dosimeters to Radiation Dosimetry Laboratory (RDL), Pakistan Institute of Nuc...

objective(s): diagnostic nuclear medicine is being increasingly employed in clinical practice with the advent of new technologies and radiopharmaceuticals. the report of the prevalence of a certain disease is important for assessing the quality of that article. therefore, this study was performed to evaluate the quality of published nuclear medicine articles and determine the frequency of repor...

In 1972, forty years ago, Division of Radioisotope Utilization separated from Department of Radiology of our Hospital, having grown into independent Department of Nuclear Medicine and Oncology. According to Professor Šime Spaventi, the first head of the Division of Radioisotope Utilization, then head of the Department of Nuclear Medicine and Oncology1, from 1963 when the Division was establishe...

Introduction: The aim of present study was to estimate effective dose from most common procedures performed in nuclear medicine departments of Golestan province. Methods: Data of nuclear medicine procedures performed in 2 nuclear medicine departments in Golestan province were collected during 4 years. Effective dose, collective effective dose and effective dose per examination were calculated ...

this book has three chapters: heart, lung and radiation protection. in each chapter, indications of scans, radiopharaceuticals the study performance, patient preparation, report and also possible problems were discussed. in addition, in the end of each chapter, many mutliplechoice question (mca) were expressed. the studying of this book for at medical students, physicians and colleagues is reco...

The Nuclear Medicine Technologist (NMT) is a health care professional who is able to undertake the whole range of nuclear medicine procedures. He/She is a part of a team of health care specialists which may include doctors, physicists, radiochemists, radiopharmacists, other clinical scientists, technologists, nurses and others who support and care for the patient during diagnostic and therapeut...

The role of the nuclear medicine has changed, from the early days when it was the only alternative to x-rays, to the present, when nuclear images are interpreted in light of specific metabolic processes, not anatomy. The development of specific receptor targeting radiopharmaceuticals, markers of viability using PETor SPECT, analogues of neurotransmitters etc., have placed the nuclear medi...
